Lavleen Kaur, a holistic wellness advocate and nutrition expert in conversation with Urban Melange, shares her perspective on the upcoming health trends for 2024, practical tips for maintaining a nutritious diet amidst busy schedules, the importance of mindful eating, and a simple yet impactful daily practice for a healthier year.
What health trend do you foresee taking over globally in 2024?
In 2024, the global health trend is leaning towards quick wins with supplements, driven by the demand for shortcuts due to busy lifestyles. While acknowledging the positives of trends like veganism and fitness, I advocate a holistic approach. Rather than avoiding certain foods entirely, I emphasize a balanced and individualized diet with lifestyle modifications for sustainable health. Embracing nutritious foods and rejecting quick fixes is the key to a healthier future.
For those with busy schedules, what are practical tips for maintaining a nutritious diet without compromising on convenience?
Strategic planning and advanced preplanning are essential for busy individuals nowadays. Prioritize homemade, simple meals three times a day. Avoid a combination diet. Use one meal as a double meal. Keep changing proteins and other veggies to avoid monotony. It will align with the rhythm of your kitchen and also your body. Opt for fewer choices for better options. Pre-soak nuts, stock up on weekend groceries and keep a ready fruit for a morning nutrient boost. Maximize weekends for relaxation and meal prep. Create meal plans, keep batters ready, and plan evening food for a stress-free routine. Maintain an organized kitchen, ensuring everything has its place. Keep healthy foods visible and accessible to prioritize personal well-being. Try eating hot, nutritious, homemade food as much as possible. In our busy lives, it’s common and easy to access unhealthy foods as it is just a call away. But avoid shortcuts; preplan lunches and snacks to resist unhealthy temptations. Once in a while, it’s fine. Always look for a healthier alternative. Choose seasonal and regional fruits as snacks to cut junk indulgence. Instead of juices prefer eating raw fruits as a whole. Always carry homemade laddoos or a box of dry fruits with nuts and seeds for emergencies in your bag. Don’t overlook hydration for overall well-being. Plan, prep and understand the benefits of a healthier, mindful lifestyle.
